Sanford's Choice for United states senator
We republish the Sanford Journal,
account of the Perry meeting at Sanford
of which we had an account yesterday:
At "a call of the citizens of Sanford, q
meeting of many of her prominent PEG
pie was held at the town hall to- express
their confidence in and preference fof
Gov. Il. A. Perry, in the contest now go
ing on at Tallahassee for United States
Senator.
"A. &. Martin was called to the chair.
and G.. III. LETTER made secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting and in a few pointed and ear
nest words held up to admiration the
splendid character of Governor Perry.
He had been "a comrade and follower of
Perry in Nirginia-had seen him III
camp and on the battle field, and every
where trusted and tried, had proven him
self a man; he was true, above reproach,
and the State would honor herself in
honOring him as her United States Sen
atOr.
j. j. Clifford moved that a committee
of seven be appointed to draft resolu-
tions. George K. Fox, f.. C.. Parkhurst,
Il. Nj. McRae, Max Myerson, +. w. Pea
body, J.. j. Clifford and r.. r. Barnes
We're named as the committee, who af-
ttt IL anu
the following resolutions:
A large portion of the Democracy of
Sanford. feeling that they are misrepre-
scented by the newspapers and by the
published proceedings of the meeting
held in this hall on last evening (Which
was not composed of dozen citizens)
in the interest of Ex-Gov. w. ID. Biloxi
hap, desire to give a brief expression of
theADviews
ResOired, LIST, That if any Democratic
convention of Orange County ever gave
expression that w. ID. Bloxham was the
choice of Orange for United States SEN
ator; it was an expression given by the
delegates without the people having eX-
pressed themselves at the primaries and
without any delegation of authority to
the delegates composing said convention
and hence had no more binding effect
than the voice of just rs many delegates
as citizens, voting for the resolution.
ReSOired, 2d, That we do not believe
that Mr. Bloxham is the choice of four
fifths of the Democratic voters of the
State, and we know he is not endorsed
by nine-tenthS of the Democratic voters
of Orange. If fairly presented, Gov.
Perry has ma lOrity.
Resoired, Sd, That w. ID. Bloxham is
not the choice of the Democrats of San
ford.
hpSOttSu, ftn, lllit WIlilt We 40 not
censure or even disapprove of our Sem
atOr and Representatives. in voting for
MIR. Bloxham up To the present time-for
we would not assume to arbitrarily die
tate their course and action-but that,
as they have voted for MIR. Bloxham up
To this date, we earnestly request that
they now and for the future, cast their
votes for Gov. f.. A. Perry for United
States Senator, knowing that in so do
ing they will east their votes for man
eff eminent ability, unquestioned integ-
rity and in every way worthy and well
qualified.
